What am I reading today?

The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman

This is the current book that I am reading.  It talks about how partners or we as people express and receive love.  Chapman describes these five languages as 1) Quality Time  2) Words of affirmation  3)  Gifts  4)  Acts of Service  and 5) Physical Touch.

As a couple it is important that you discover what each other’s love language is…that’s what keeps the fire burning for you and your spouse!  For example for some people words of encouragement are high on their list and a wife that gives her husband continuous praise is speaking his love language fluently.  He will respond with love and feel like he is loved (his love tank is full).  For you it may be “Acts of Service” that keeps your love tank full.

But, say for instance, you are doing and doing all this stuff and your partner doesnt respond to it..perhaps it is the wrong love language!  You have to try what works!

For me I felt like I was in between two of the languages.  Acts of Service is a big one!  and Words of Encouragement.

I recommend you pick up the book…it is well worth the read!  Thank you Brian for giving me this book!
